Your SQL query is full of errors. It is always good practice to check your query has succeed and not just assume that it will as it is not only SQL errors which can cause it to fail. Use this code and it will tell you were your errors are:

if (! mysql_query ("INSERT INTO DB_Stats Values ('','$name','$team,'$tries,'$goals','$fgoals','$total')"))
  die ('Query Failed: ' . mysql_error());

this error

Query Failed: You have an error in your SQL syntax near '1,'1','1','1')' at line 1

Your quotes are out of sync. Each value should be enclosed in single quotes; some of them are not.

Query Failed: You have an error in your SQL syntax near '1,'1','1','1')' at line 1

In your PHP script:
"INSERT INTO DB_Stats Values ('','$name','$team,'$tries,'$goals','$fgoals','$total');"

sweet that works well now

hey i'm displaying all the records in my database and just looping them over and over so I can edit the whole lot on one page. once I have change the information do we just run a script like this

if (! mysql_query ("UPDATE DB_Stats Values ('','$name','$team','$tries','$goals','$fgoals','$total')")) 
  die ('Query Failed: ' . mysql_error());
